Line bottom of a large shallow baking pan with foil. Lightly oil foil. Melt butter in a 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat. Add brown sugar and corn syrup and bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring, then boil, without stirring, until syrup registers 300°F on thermometer, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat.

Using a wooden spoon or a heatproof spatula, stir salt and baking soda into syrup, then quickly stir in peanuts and popcorn to coat. Immediately spread mixture in baking pan as thinly and evenly as possible. Cool completely, then break into bite-size pieces.

OK made this again. This time spread out on the silpat sheet again like before but poured thin layer of caramel on top and did not stir. Let harden and broke into size of large cookies. Glossy amber candy on one side and snow white popcorn/peanuts and pretzels on other side. Gorgeous and delicious. My friend said I could give them as gifts.
